She was an Allotments, from the same hatch as Poppy and Gloria. That was the year that we kept 8 hatched girls: Poppy, Glori, and then Catherine, Anne, Jane, Kathryn, Ann of Cleves and Kathryn Parr.
She came ro live in the garden at the beginning of the first lockdown. E girls were stolen, and we has ro evacuate the remaining girls to our home.
She was a lovely girl, and I am so lucky that lockdown enabled me ro get to know her so much better. She was, after a while, happy to be stroked and taksbtrsats. She didn't like being picked up, ans so I sidnt pick her up unless necessary.
She has slowed down a few months ago,but continued ro be active and interested. She was obviously on her way out recently,m but she was still interested in eating. I bought her mealworm, which she relished. She walked herself into the fruit cage when she saw me come out with the container, and I blocked the entrance so she could eat in peace. We had a routine for the last few days.
She died this evening
